Here is what it says: AUDIT: Sat Dec 13 12:58:56 2003: 30074 X: client 5 rejected from local host I have added both my local ip address and the remote IP via xhost on both the local and remote machines. I exported the DISPLAY variable on the linux server to equal 24.229.162.18:0 I even disabled my firewall on my home machine. Do I need to do anything to the firewall at the server? It's not a linux firewall, it's a SMC hardware firewall. In the cygwin docs it says to test with running xterm& from the server, this worked, it popped up a new terminal window. But I still can't get the X desktop to display. Does it matter what runlevel I'm in? I tried both 3 and 5. In runlevel 5 I get errors saying X is locked to the local display 0, so I must need to run it from runlevel 3? What am I missing?
